PERSONAL: I put the PAL in PayPal.

[campylobacter]

That awkward moment when you realize you FORGOT YOUR PAYPAL PASSWORD.

That awkward moment when you reset it just as your pirated WiFi cuts off. FOR 5 HOURS.

That awkward moment when you use a certain F-bomb in PayPal's automated customer service chatbox ("Virtual Assistant") and the chatbot asks you to keep the chat "G-rated". So you use "frell" instead.

That awkward moment when you call a real tech support person at PayPal to downgrade your account to "personal" from "premier" so you won't get charged extra to send money.

Teh intarwebz iz FUN and CONVENIENT. Especially for when I'm in a socially maladjusted mood.

Ah, teh interwebz... love it when it works, hate it with the fire of a thousand exploding Netus if it doesn't.

The PayPal HelpBot kept asking me why I wanted to close my account because I typed "cancel premier". Had to repeat "DOWNGRADE" several times before it finally clued in. (And then told me to call a 1-888 number.)

Before all that, it told me how to use the Control+F function to locate the "cancel premier" link/button. DURRRR That's what started the profanity. 'Cuz SRSLY, there's NO WAY the PayPal PR Dept. would even consider putting a "cancel" anything in their user interface.
